Heavy Rain is a game like none other out there apart from Indigo Prophecy which is the previous game from Quantic Dream. Heavy Rain is a Ps3 Exclusive and tries to push the Cell Processor to its limit.The models shown in the videos as we have seen are extra ordinary and are unmatchable. Heavy rain focuses on drama and emotions rather then a casual  gaming experience.Most probably it will receive a M rating.

The Lead Between the xbox and the Ps3 is decreasing day by day. At the start of 2009 the lead was around 8 million which has now reached to 5.4 million only. 2009 Sure was a Great year for Sony . There upcoming Heavy Lifters like Heavy Rain, God of war 3, Mag, White Knight Chronicles , Gran Turismo 5 and The last Guardian are sure to make Sony go ahead in Hardware sales than the Xbox.

Mass Effect 2 the Bioware Exclusive SC-Fi Rpg for the Xbox has already sold 2 million pieces and is moving along at a very fast rate.

Uncharted 2: Amount Theives has sold around 2.7 million units worldwide and is going to hit the 3 million Milestone soon.

White Knight Chronicles is finally going to be released world wide on 2nd Feb. Its named as White Knight Chronicles the International Version and has certain enhancements attached to it. One of the unique features in the International version is a Virtual Town called the GeoRama which you create by yourself.

Lastly rumours have begun to surf the net that we will hear the announcements at e3 for KillZone 3, Resistance 3 and Uncharted 3. The 3 Triple AAA Sony Exclusives.

In case you haven’t read much about it, Dante’s Inferno plays very much like a God of War game. It’s actually one of those games that truly captures that God of War feel. It’s impressive in every way imaginable.

You play as Dante, a veteran of the Crusades, who chases his beloved Beatrice in an effort to free her from Lucifer. Dante must also face his family’s past sins and war crimes. He and his knights are ordered by the King to capture the city of Acre and secure an artifact by Saladin. When he finally returns home, his beloved wife was raped and murdered and watches Lucifer dragging her to hell. Sounds interesting already doesn’t it?

There’s so many similarities in this game to past God of War games that it somehow always reminds you of how great those titles were when you first played them. One of the things they do great with this game is fluidity of the graphics. While there’s really nothing new to what they’re doing, its still very enjoyable to watch. The game play, well, if you played God of War, again you’ll be surprised to how similar this game plays. The boss level (where you fight the Reaper) somehow reminded me of Devil May Cry 4. This game also utilizes the orb collecting that are popularized by those two games I just mentioned. The sound is also excellent and I sort of wish I have a 5.1 surround sound.

The only thing I find that is not appealing to me is the in-game menu system. While everything else in the game is solid and superb, the menus are a bit of a let down. It looks kind of boring compare to GoW and DMC4. I do like how they mapped out the abilities instead of having a separate drop down menu. It’s easier to see how which ones you’ve upgraded skill or weapon wise. But it is a minor set back to one of the hottest title of 2010.

If religious is not part of your vocabulary, I suggest playing this demo out. Creating a faux religious protest was pretty damn good -great publicity stunt EA!. The game comes out on February 9th of next year in North America & February 12th in Europe.

The New York Times said it’s “An unusual investment structure, by an unorthodox foreign investor, might shake up many of Silicon Valley’s traditional venture capital and private equity firms, which are losing out on another promising Internet opportunity.” They’re also saying that DST list a prominent Russian Billionaire with a criminal record. How ironic is that that a person with a criminal record would invest on a company that has a game called Mafia Wars. As of October 2009, Mafia Wars has more than 25.9 million (monthly) active accounts. Zynga also released Mafia Wars for the iPhone and iPod Touch for free around April of this year.

Some dude over at YouTube posted this 5 days ago and have been making its rounds on the interwebs. If only they would choose better songs. I still have yet to see someone try this on a New York City apartment. I dare someone to try.
